1. Joint Emergency Services
Operational Video Solutions

2. Changing Environment
 Diminishing resources
 Do more with same or less
 Political will
 Heightened threat
 Technologically possible
 Integration between Emergency Services improves response
 Interoperability is essential
 Military experience of Combined Services Operations

3. Potential Obstacles to Change
 Impact on extant budgets
 Entrenched single service views (protectionism)
 Separate legacy systems
 Proprietary (closed) software systems
 Investment required for transition to Joint facilities
 Lack of Joint doctrine and training

4. Combined Services Operations (1)
 5 Principles for Joint Working
 Co-location
 Single, safe, easily identified, near to scene
 Communication
 Co-ordination
 Identify lead service; identify priorities, resources and
capabilities for an effective response
 Joint understanding of the Risk
 Share information about the likelihood and potential impact
of threats and hazards
 Agree potential control measures
 Shared situational awareness

5.  Joint Decision Model
Shared Situational Awareness

6. Combined Services Operations (2)
 Joint Doctrine
 Joint Decision Model
 Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme
(JESIP)
 Emergency Services Communications Network ( ESCN)
 Emergency Services Mobile Communications Platform
(ESMCP)
 Common Operational Picture (COP)
 Shared facilities (eg Suffolk Fire and Police)
 Combined Back Office and C3 Centres

7. Common Operational Picture (COP)
 A common operational picture (COP) is a single
identical display of relevant (operational) information
with feeds for:
 Position and status of available emergency service resources
 Geographical information (Mapping)
 Support Infrastructure (hospitals, roads/rail/airhead, barracks, )
 Meteorological information and forecasting (Met Office)
 Joint Communications
 Multi Agency Gold Incident Commander (MAGIC) Command
System
 Joint Video picture – access any camera

8.  Seeing beats hearing and enables a faster response
 HD video is not always necessary, or possible to acquire
 Share many views with many viewers
 Demand it or command it when you need it
 Record it for evidence or analysis
 Use existing platforms and communications media
 Access ANY camera and see what I see, not what I’ve seen
Integrated Video Surveillance - underpinning ideas

9. From mobile devices back to fixed sites (and beyond)
Transmit live video to control rooms from remote assets:
• CCTV vans
• Mobile & deployable CCTV cameras
• Fixed CCTV cameras
• Local CCTV hubs
• Covert cameras
• Blue Light, Fire appliances, Security Patrol vehicles
• Maritime Patrol, Coastguard, Customs / Offshore
• Helicopters, UAVs
• Body worn cameras / remote operators
'Live' Video Streaming – from any Platform

10. Architecture
Any video source, any network, to anywhere…
Vemotion streaming can be integrated into control room
applications, video walls, ANPR engines etc

11. Video Management Systems - Integration
